In June 2018, the most popular British comedian of our time was mugged. What happened to Michael McIntyre's stolen watch? More importantly, what happened to Michael McIntyre? In a fictional re-imagining of events, The Fall and Rise of a Comedy Legend recreates the days that followed that fateful day, taking Michael on an adventure of personal discovery-all with a healthy dollop of comedy along the way. The comedian finds himself in an unexpected alliance and is given the necessary tools to turn his experience into a life-changing epoch. He realises it's time to make his first move when he comes face-to-face with his attacker. Armed with an arsenal of new gadgets and renewed fortitude, Michael heads off to win the day. The Fall and Rise of a Comedy Legend highlights the current climate of increasing crime in London and ponders the resulting consequences for both victims and criminals. When a much-loved comedian becomes a victim outside of a school in broad daylight, it's unarguably time to fight back.
